Prayer focus for the week beginning 8th January 2023:
• Tetbury Praying the Town: Quail Meadows
• The Parish of Long Newnton
• The Departed and those who mourn their loss, remembering especially Stephen Gregg (Funeral Monday 23rd January, 12 noon in St Marys’ Tetbury) and Ms Poulton. We give thanks for their lives, and pray for God’s comfort for their family and friends.
• Year’s Mind: Claire Tomlinson (12/01). (“Year’s Mind” is to mark the first anniversary of a death –often a difficult time for family and friends).
• Praying for St Mary’s School: Year 6 Oak Class with Mr Bartrop and Mrs Weston
• Local issues: for our town council, that all may have new enthusiasm and vision as they plan for the future of our town of Tetbury
• National issues: at the beginning of this new year, may people look forward with hope rather than fear or despair, and know God’s comfort and reassurance
• World issues: for peace and protection for the people of Ukraine and other areas of conflict in the world
Ask, and it will be given to you. Matt.7:7
